The new disruptive age in technology has presented a strategic game changer for most organizations. The severe modifications in complete industries and unpredictable market conditions have created significant challenges for simple organizational survival, let alone providing an avenue for growth, innovation, and new ventures. These conditions have fostered a greater need for corporate innovative activities and a better understanding of the corporate entrepreneurial process within such an environment. 

This volume focuses on the greatest challenges that exist in Corporate Entrepreneurship in this disruptive age, and explores the complications posed by the dynamic environment that all organizations of today are forced to confront. It addresses the need for a better understanding of the role of external socio-cultural, economic and market conditions upon the managerial and leadership decisions and actions in pursuit of Corporate Entrepreneurship strategies.

    Contributed by entrepreneurship researchers from the US, the eight essays in this volume examine issues involved in corporate entrepreneurship in the disruptive innovation age. They address entrepreneurship in established firms; the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on balancing exploration and exploitation in the form of organizational ambidexterity; integrating corporate entrepreneurship and organization development through learning and leadership; key challenges faced by corporate entrepreneurial leaders in the age of disruptive innovation; corporate entrepreneurship as a mental model that allows firms to adapt to new competitive landscapes by facilitating the development of new cognitive scripts and schemas when lost in a rapidly changing competitive domain; how innovation teams suffer because management fails to develop a change strategy and prepare managers and participants to work in teams, with discussion of the elements needed to prepare team members; how designers and organizations can leverage design for corporate innovation; and technological firms' success in corporate innovation.
